Clean Elections for NY? It works in Maine!

Common cause posted this video on YouTube, featuring Beth Edmonds, president of the Maine State Senate. In it, she talks about the benefits of "Clean Elections" or the public financing of elections to even the political playing field.



We should listen to carefully to Edmonds. If we're ever going to clear the logjam in Albany, if we have any hope of removing corruption from our governmental system, and if we want to make New York a shining example of the democratic process. We must press our politicians to support publicly-funded Clean Elections.
